 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2007:211
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : pcre
 Date    : November 8, 2007
 Affected: 2007.1
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered by Tavis Ormandy and
 Will Drewry in the way that pcre handled certain malformed regular
 expressions.  If an application linked against pcre, such as Konqueror,
 parses a malicious regular expression, it could lead to the execution
 of arbitrary code as the user running the application.
 
 Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.
